Bettor's best friend (BBF): Monday's wagering tips
Melting the ice
New Jersey Devils coach Jacques Lemaire changed his top lines in Saturday's 2-0 win over Carolina. He broke up the top line of Zach Parise, Travis Zajac and Jamie Langenbrunner, putting Zajac on a line with Niclas Bergfors and Matt Halischuk, and Parise and Langenbrunner with Rob Niedermayer. Lemaire also split up his defensive tandems, putting Paul Martin with Bryce Salvador and Johnny Oduya - who had been with Martin - with Andy Greene. The Devils don't play until visiting the New York Rangers on Thursday, so the units will have time to practice together.
Something special
The New York Rangers have won seven straight games and special teams have been a huge reason. After going 0-for-9 on the power play in their first two games, the Rangers are 10-of-29 in their last six matches. And the penalty kill has been even better, burning 36-of-40 short-handed situations during the streak. New York is -114 vs. San Jose with a total of 5.5.
